ClojureScript vs Groovy: What are the differences?
Developers describe ClojureScript as "A Clojure compiler targeting JavaScript". ClojureScript is a compiler for Clojure that targets JavaScript. It is designed to emit JavaScript code which is compatible with the advanced compilation mode of the Google Closure optimizing compiler. On the other hand, Groovy is detailed as "A dynamic language for the Java platform". Groovy builds upon the strengths of Java but has additional power features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk. It makes modern programming features available to Java developers with almost-zero learning curve.
ClojureScript and Groovy belong to "Languages" category of the tech stack.
ClojureScript and Groovy are both open source tools. ClojureScript with 8.12K GitHub stars and 724 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Groovy with 1.49K GitHub stars and 414 GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Groovy has a broader approval, being mentioned in 79 company stacks & 73 developers stacks; compared to ClojureScript, which is listed in 24 company stacks and 17 developer stacks.
